Manchester Undize delivered a disturbing message about their financial resources on Thursday.
In response to a message of fans’ groups about the increase in ticket prices in Old Trafford, United replied by saying: “We are currently losing every year – totaling more than 300 million pounds in the past three years.
“This is not sustainable, and if we do not act now, we are at the risk of failure to comply with the requirements of PSR/FFP in the coming years and greatly affect our ability to compete on the stadium.”
Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Inius arrived at the club as investors, there has been a series of stories about the back and savings. There were 250 of the club’s repeated staff, and the club’s legends were cut off, decreasing and restructuring behind the scenes.
It was short-term pain with the ambition of long-term gains-United believes that restructuring could provide 40 million pounds in the future. The situation was also a subject of the transfer window in January, with local players such as Alejandro Garnacho associated with potential sales.
However, the urgent need for expansion was highlighted through this recent observation of the club, especially with the Robin Amorim team in the lower half of the Premier League table and it appears that it will be out of qualifying for the profitable champions football again.
“It is a serious situation, with their own words,” he says. Sky Sports News The main correspondent Cafe Salmikol.
“United has reported a net loss of 113 million pounds in its latest accounts and lost more than 300 million pounds over the past three years. The new co -owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe expels employees, which led to a reduction in spending prices and raising them.
“In every season, United spends outside the Champions League heavily hit them in the pocket. By judging their position in the league, things will get worse before they improve.”
Interestingly, this statement on the need to tighten the belts comes in a week in which United was inserted in the fourth place in the Deloitte Football League 2025, as its revenues exceeded 651.3 million pounds only by Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint -Germain.
But the bad sports performance affected. In addition to the absence of the Champions League, there were significant transportation expenses in recent seasons, as more than 600 million pounds were spent on the players for Eric Tin Hag. United also had to pay compensation for the Dutch after extending his contract in the summer and then dismissing 12 games in this campaign.
Since Amorim apparently needs to update the team and the club to bring the players to suit its system and the style of play is different, United may have to spend their way out of trouble. This restores us to increase the price of tickets and controversial discounts.
The groups of United supporters have described the increase in ticket prices in recent years as “largely illogical” in the great plan of the club’s huge revenues.
“Maybe the participants may see that the price is rising as a marginal gain,” says Salhikol.
“United has stumbled on huge debts and they need to comply with the financial regulations of the Premier League and the UEFA league.
“In general, the more you win, the more you can spend it – especially under the rules of controlling the costs of the new team in the Premier League next season.
“UNITED needs to reduce costs and increase revenues. High ticket prices, collective discounts and all cost reduction when fans can refer to players who earn fortunes and lack of performance on the field.
“Many clubs have their owners who have put large money in their clubs. The ownership of the GLAZER United family has cost more than one billion pounds. Sterling).
Can Man UTD violate PSR/FFP bases?
In light of this, the demand of United that they lost 300 million pounds during the past three years will put them in a breach of PSR rules, which only allows a loss of 105 million pounds over three seasons.
However, in these rules, there are allowances, where clubs can extend transportation fees over multiple accounting periods and costs to delete costs that are considered “in public football interests”, such as infrastructure, women’s teams and academies.
Earlier this month, we reported that the English Premier League clubs were not charged with the three-year violations of PSR between 2021-2024.
More importantly, PSR is scheduled to be replaced by the team’s cost rules next season, which will be limited to spending the club to a percentage of its revenues.
Therefore, at the present time, United is within the borders. But with the club warning itself, crucial steps are now needed to avoid punishment in the future.
